It was a very hectic day with all these hoaxes reported almost every few hours. Starting as early as 8 am at a school in downtown Bangkok. Then, The Nation newspaper got a mysterious phone call saying that the bombs would explode in the next three hours---3 pm. Then, someone called me and asked about the rumor of a bomb going off at Triam Udom High School. But I asked the editorial desk and they said there was no official report. Then, another friend of mine said a mysterious package was found outside the TMB's headquarters in Paholyothin.
No explosives were found at all these reported locations.
But Gen.Chavalit's reaction to the allegations that he might be related to the incidents should have been covered tonight. Unfortunately, limitations and restrictions at work prevented us from running this story or anything about Thaksin. (Well, fairness, objectivity we learnt in Journalism School doesn't apply here.) Gen.Chavalit publicly said that maybe the military should look into its own ranks to figure out who really plotted this. Everyone's speculating a similar idea. But it's him who said that maybe the military staged this itself to create a sense of insecurity.
Of course, I was very frustrated that there were way too many hoaxes. It started to get into my system at the end of the day. When I was going home tonight, at the stop light, I saw a few guys talking on their cell phones at the Victory Monument. They were looking up at the building right across the street. Of course, I looked at them and the building, trying to figure out if they were seeing something unusual. A few seconds later, they just walked away. And I realized I had taken in too much of the bombing hoaxes today.
